Description

A helper class for testing code which uses D-Bus without touching the user's session bus.

Details

GTestDBus

typedef struct _GTestDBus GTestDBus;

The GTestDBus structure contains only private data and should only be accessed using the provided API.

Since 2.34


enum GTestDBusFlags

typedef enum {
  G_TEST_DBUS_NONE = 0
} GTestDBusFlags;

Flags to define future GTestDBus behaviour.

G_TEST_DBUS_NONE

No flags.

Since 2.34


g_test_dbus_new ()

GTestDBus *         g_test_dbus_new                     (GTestDBusFlags flags);

Create a new GTestDBus object.

flags :

a GTestDBusFlags

Returns :

a new GTestDBus. [transfer full]

g_test_dbus_get_flags ()

GTestDBusFlags      g_test_dbus_get_flags               (GTestDBus *self);

Gets the flags of the GTestDBus object.

self :

a GTestDBus

Returns :

the value of "flags" property

g_test_dbus_get_bus_address ()

const gchar *       g_test_dbus_get_bus_address         (GTestDBus *self);

Get the address on which dbus-daemon is running. if g_test_dbus_up() has not been called yet, NULL is returned. This can be used with g_dbus_connection_new_for_address()

self :

a GTestDBus

Returns :

the address of the bus, or NULL.

g_test_dbus_add_service_dir ()

void                g_test_dbus_add_service_dir         (GTestDBus *self,
                                                         const gchar *path);

Add a path where dbus-daemon will lookup for .services files. This can't be called after g_test_dbus_up().

self :

a GTestDBus

path :

path to a directory containing .service files

g_test_dbus_up ()

void                g_test_dbus_up                      (GTestDBus *self);

Start a dbus-daemon instance and set DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. After this call, it is safe for unit tests to start sending messages on the session bus.

If this function is called from setup callback of g_test_add(), g_test_dbus_down() must be called in its teardown callback.

If this function is called from unit test's main(), then g_test_dbus_down() must be called after g_test_run().

self :

a GTestDBus

g_test_dbus_stop ()

void                g_test_dbus_stop                    (GTestDBus *self);

Stop the session bus started by g_test_dbus_up().

Unlike g_test_dbus_down(), this won't verify the GDBusConnection singleton returned by g_bus_get() or g_bus_get_sync() is destroyed. Unit tests wanting to verify behaviour after the session bus has been stopped can use this function but should still call g_test_dbus_down() when done.

self :

a GTestDBus

g_test_dbus_down ()

void                g_test_dbus_down                    (GTestDBus *self);

Stop the session bus started by g_test_dbus_up().

This will wait for the singleton returned by g_bus_get() or g_bus_get_sync() is destroyed. This is done to ensure that the next unit test won't get a leaked singleton from this test.

self :

a GTestDBus

g_test_dbus_unset ()

void                g_test_dbus_unset                   (void);

Unset DISPLAY and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS env variables to ensure the test won't use user's session bus.

This is useful for unit tests that want to verify behaviour when no session bus is running. It is not necessary to call this if unit test already calls g_test_dbus_up() before acquiring the session bus.
